52eef55419 Removed legacy iso defconfigs as the hybrid iso images book on all my test systems and as the legacy are not hybrid and therefore don't boot on USB may cause unnecessary confusion if the user is not aware of their limitation. 2026-01-27 18:25:33 +00:00

6ac1d0c6f3 Added i386 legacy boot required to boot one of my systems, EFI USB & CD and legacy USB & CD tested. All booting with shredos_iso_extra_defconfig. Confirmed ShredOS mounts the 50MB extra partition on the USB and uses for configs, logs and PDFs. 2026-01-27 01:34:23 +00:00

a981af81bf add openssh server, root login disabled as default in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Introduced ssh login for those not wishing to use telnetd. Main use being to access headless systems due to no graphics system or faulty graphics system. I'm open to discussions for those interested in ssh logins how best to implement this in practise or is it ok as is? 2026-01-24 00:49:02 +00:00

405a211b24 Remove defconfigs that are surplus to requirements and don't really provide anything that the other defconfigs already provide. Their removal also helps to reduce my workload keeping all the defconfigs in sync with one another. 2026-01-22 19:46:55 +00:00

db6ad14377 Add ntfs-3g for r/w access to NTFS (Microsoft basic data) formatted drives for backing up PDF, logs and nwipe config files. 2026-01-22 19:31:09 +00:00

3ba5beaf17 Fixed the issues (#342 and #385) where a Ventoy USB memory stick that was formatted as GPT with NTFS (Type:Microsoft Basic Data) was unable to have config, PDFs and log files written to it as it was being mounted read only. This was corrected by installing BR2_PACKAGE_NTFS_3G, deinstalling the busybox mount command and installing mount from the util-linux package. I also fixed an issue that occurs when multiple formatted discs exist on the system and the user pulls the ShredOS USB boot device out after booting. In that circumstance, when it's time for ShredOS to backup PDFs, logs and configs it attempts to write them first to a disc that is identified as the ShredOS boot disc, if it fails it then looks for the first disc with a mountable partition and writes the PDFs, log and configs to that disc. Unfortunately if the disc failed to mount it wouldn't then go on and search for other disks, it would assume the mount completed ok. The save of PDFs etc, would then fail. This was also fixed so the mount return status is now checked and if it fails it now continues its search. 2026-01-22 11:02:09 +00:00

1390bf9e68 Commit relevant to shredos_i686_lite_defconfig only. Added some graphics firmware for Radeon, Intel that have a small footprint, avoiding AMDGPU for graphics hardware post circa 2010 while maintaining that shredos_i686_lite will boot in 512MB of RAM (but not 256MB). Created a separate kernel backup file for all i686 builds called kernel_i686_defconfig as switching between x86-64 and i686 and back could cause some settings to disappear in the kernel backup file if committed. Replaced the busybox version of lspci with the full pciutils version. 2026-01-21 14:07:23 +00:00

fb2af5b5e5 nwipe aes failed to compile due to missing g++ compiler code for gcc, added smartmontools so nwipes reports were complete. Added various smaller programs that don't require much space like hexedit. Added NTP so RTC is accurate if connected to a network.

4fd5642d16 feat(iso9660): appendable partition image for hybrid modes
Allow to append a FAT16 partition image when building an ISO in hybrid mode.

This allows to add an extra writeable partition for when the ISO is burned to USB.

This feature is experimental and disabled by default.

1635894f8e fix(configs): revert partition size and post processing for EFI
The EFI partition for hybrid ISOs does not reliably show on all Windows systems, so we cannot use our "hack" of writing the configurations/PDFs to it. Reverted instead to a sane-sized EFI partition which is used just for booting. Added a note to the README that some tools such as Rufus support an ISO-mode to add a writeable partition at burning-time.

c3ac56cba2 feat(configs,shredos): add aio iso configuration
This adds a configuration for a jack-of-all-trades ISO, which allows BIOS and UEFI booting, being written to CD/DVD-ROM and USB drives, as well as having a writeable partition when being used from an USB drive. It basically combines the functionality of all prior release versions into one single ISO (per architecture).

29bf065cd8 feat(configs): adapt configurations for new changes
The default configuration "shredos_defconfig" was amended to produce both the existing USB image (which allows writing PDFs to the USB) and the new hybrid ISO (which now allows BIOS+UEFI booting, as well as flashing to USB and burning to CD/DVD-ROM) in one build.

Additional configurations "shredos_img_defconfig" and "shredos_iso_defconfig" were added which only target either the existing USB image or the new hybrid ISO, for full flexibility.

2acaff5c3f Multiple loop device test mode for developers & testers.
The main purpose of this commit is to allow the developer
or tester the ability to specify /dev/loop0 .. /dev/loopn on the
kernel command line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg
where n is unlimited, although it is recommended that no more
than 20-30 loop devices are specified. The loop devices are of a
fixed size alternating between 500Kbytes and 1 MByte in size. Due
to their small size you would typically select 500 or 1000 rounds
when testing. To create loop devices append the following to
grub.cfg nwipe_options='--nousb /dev/loop0 /dev/loop1 ... /dev/loopn'
loop devices should be sequential starting at loop0, any break in
the sequence will cause creation of loop devices to stop.

This commit also includes a ffmpeg module
+BR2_PACKAGE_FFMPEG_SWSCALE=y for creation of
videos of the display. This may be useful for creating
training material, youtube videos etc using the command
ffmpeg -f fbdev -framerate 30 -i /dev/fb0 output.mp4

Initial work was started on excluding the boot disc if
the following shredos_exclude_boot_disc is appended
to the kernel command line.

c9346c1f16 1. Now searches through multiple drives looking for exfat/fat32 shredos boot
discs including Ventoy.
2. The delay ShredOS introduces while it waits for USB devices to initialise
   previously printed a period symbol every second to show somethink was
   happening, instead, it now counts down numerically from 30. Most USB
   devices have initialised after about 10-15 seconds.
3. Two new kernel command line options are introduced. The first allows the
   user to determine whether PDF, log and dmesg files are sent using tftp or
   ftp protocols.
   i.e shredos_config=ftp:192.168.0.2:/home/joe/ftpdata/:jo:488993d:d
4. The second kernel command line option is:
   shredos_output=ftp:192.168.0.2:/home/joe/ftpdata/:jo:488993d:d which
   determines where the nwipe config files are retrieved from on ShredOS boot
   and saved on nwipe exit.
5. Added package openssh for sftp support
6. Added package telnetd which had inadvertently been removed on the last update.

6acdce2eac ShredOS will now save & restore configuration files, dmesg.txt and PDF certificate files to Ventoy formatted USB flash drives. Instead of saving to the first FAT32 formatted disc found, it now examines the exFAT or FAT32 partition for version information that matches the currently booted version. The location of ../board/shredos/version.txt has been moved to board/shredos/fsoverlay/etc/shredos/version.txt. This file should be manually updated by the devs when new versions are released.

c9788147f2 - Nwipe reads /etc/nwipe/nwipe.conf and /etc/nwipe/nwipe_customers.csv from the USB flash drive at boot. Nwipe now writes /etc/nwipe/nwipe.conf and /etc/nwipe/nwipe_customers.csv from ShredOS's ram drive back to USB flash drive on nwipe exit. This means any changes to nwipe's configuration via nwipes configuration screen or any changes manually made to the files will be saved back to the flash drive.
